It would not surprise me if the women accusing Fairfax were getting death threats. I am not surprised, but to me it is disgusting the crap I have seen on this site in past few days. Every regressive attack on women who come forward with rape allegations has been on display.
A real sexism and at times, an inability to go beyond race. It is hard for any woman to come forward, and I imagine, even harder for black women. My heart goes out to them.

They can investigate without her asking them to. boston bean Feb 2019 #37

Don't mischaracterize what I said EffieBlack Feb 2019 #43

So you want the accuser investigated for her veracity. Just come out and say it. boston bean Feb 2019 #45

Not investigated, but her credibility DOES need to be weighed against his EffieBlack Feb 2019 #47
